Ingredients
Scale
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
- 1/4 teaspoon ginger
- 1 cup milk (whole or dairy-free alternative)
- 1/2 cup canned pumpkin puree
- 1 large egg
- 2 tablespoons melted butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
For Serving (optional):
- Maple syrup
- Whipped cream
- Chopped pecans or walnuts
- Fresh berries
Instructions
- Prepare the Dry Ingredients:
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, sugar, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger. - Mix the Wet Ingredients:
In another bowl, whisk together the milk, pumpkin puree, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract until smooth and fully combined. - Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients:
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; the batter should remain slightly lumpy. - Cook the Pancakes:
Preheat a griddle or non-stick skillet over medium heat. Lightly grease with butter or oil. Scoop about 1/4 cup of batter per pancake onto the griddle. Cook for 2-3 minutes, until bubbles form on the surface, then flip and cook for another 1-2 minutes until golden brown. - Serve:
Stack the pancakes on a plate and top with maple syrup, whipped cream, toasted nuts, or fresh berries.
Notes
- For fluffier pancakes, let the batter rest for 5-10 minutes before cooking.
- Make ahead: Prepare the dry ingredients the night before and store them in an airtight container.
- These pancakes freeze well! Store extras in a single layer, freeze them, and reheat in the toaster or microwave.
